First, be aware that almost any mic is only going to be as good as the system you plug it into. I got this mic and even a cheaper Nady to use in a church that seats around 400 people, with a 2 story ceiling. Amazing mic. I plug my mics through an Alesis 12 channel mixer, so I can tweak the EQ, and this mic sounded identical to the $100 Shure I also use. Deep bass, solid mid, and clear treble, and it is very easy to adjust for different vocalists using it (bass, soprano, tenor). I suspect this mic would sound great in a large venue if you are plugging it into a decent system.

I was curious, so I got it. Let's just say you get what you pay for. The second I picked up the mic from the box I knew it was cheap (light weight, you can hear the insides rattling around if you shake it lightly). It's about the quality of a free computer mic that comes with a PC. If you're extremely desperate and you simply can't afford anything else and you don't care about the quality of the sound...go for it! It does actually work, the quality is just horrible.My suggestion: save up a few more bucks and get something better because this isn't worth your hard-earned money.

I've used these for several years now and find them to be better sounding than the industry standard SM58's. Better sounding and can take higher sound levels. These work equally well for vocals and instruments. You can put one of these inside a kick drum and kick the tar out of it. If they have a draw-back, they are slightly more prone to backfeed than the SM58's.

I bought this originally as a "just in case" deal for live sound gigs. It was under 20 bucs and I was very concerned it would sound as such. turns out to be the best sounding lo-z vocal mic in the case! I know you think I'm smoke'n something, but in several cases, this mic was chosen over the 58's and senhausers in a live "on spot" A-B comparison by the vocalist's themselves! go figure? it does have more handling noise though.

These mikes sound great. I don't use mikes with switches for karaoke because amatuer singers will turn them off then blame me for faulty equipment. SM58s are better but I haven't had anyone complain about the 9s or the SP-5s they replaced.

Two of these mics came with the PA system I bought so I'm glad that I didn't waste my money bying these things. They are just about useless. They give no warmth to your voice and have no gain whatsoever. Feedback is a huge problem as well, even at low volume. My advice to you is save up your money and buy a Shure SM58 or higher Shure model. They won't disappoint you, these Nady StarPower mics will.

The Nady StarPower 9 Microphone by Nady is terrible microphone. I sing in a band. I dropped this microphone on stage and it broke. The grill snapped in half and the mic just stopped working. I finished the song with my guitarist's mic. After the song, I ran to my car and got a little Aiwa mic that I had in my car that i got free. I didn't think it was any good, but it turned out to be better than the StarPower 9. Good thing that mic came free with my new stereo...
